Being able to disable garbage collection over context
switches vastly simplifies implementation of yielding
native code that builds large or complex data structures
on the heap. This since the heap can be left in an
inconsistent state over the context switch.

A process requesting a system task to be executed in the context of
another process will be notified by a message when the task has
executed. This message will be on the form:
{RequestType, RequestId, Pid, Result}.
A process requesting a system task to be executed can set priority
on the system task. The requester typically set the same priority
on the task as its own process priority, and by this avoiding
priority inversion. A request for execution of a system task is
made by calling the statically linked in NIF
erts_internal:request_system_task(Pid, Prio, Request). This is an
undocumented ERTS internal function that should remain so. It
should *only* be called from BIF implementations.
Currently defined system tasks are:
* garbage_collect
* check_process_code
Further system tasks can and will be implemented in the future.
The erlang:garbage_collect/[1,2] and erlang:check_process_code/[2,3]
BIFs are now implemented using system tasks. Both the
'garbage_collect' and the 'check_process_code' operations perform
or may perform garbage_collections. By doing these via the
system task functionality all garbage collect operations in the
system will be performed solely in the context of the process
being garbage collected. This makes it possible to later implement
functionality for disabling garbage collection of a process over
context switches.
Newly introduced BIFs:
* erlang:garbage_collect/2 - The new second argument is an option
list. Introduced option:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous garbage collect requests.
* erlang:check_process_code/3 - The new third argument is an
option list. Introduced options:
* {async, RequestId} - making it possible for users to issue
asynchronous check process code requests.
* {allow_gc, boolean()} - making it possible to issue requests
that aren't allowed to garbage collect (operation will abort
if gc should be needed).
These options have been introduced as a preparation for
parallelization of check_process_code operations when the
code_server is about to purge a module.

Update preloaded
Fix incorrect values returned by integer_to_binary/2
|
|
Clear the "enabled" flag for scheduling statistics when disable is
specified.
|
|
|
|
When integer_to_binary/2 receives 0 or a negative number as an argument
with a base that is different from 10, it will return incorrect values
(<<>> in the case of 0) or it will crash (with negative numbers). This
commit fixes these problems and adds tests to cover these cases.

* bjorn/xml-encoding-fix/OTP-11310:
Change encoding of troublesome notes.xml files to utf-8
Convert some notes.xml files from latin-1 to utf-8
|
|
* lukas/erts/erl_exec_e:
+e should be passed through erlexec
|
|
In the master branch, the encoding for most xml files have been
changed from latin-1 to utf-8. The problem is, that the corresponding
files in the maint branch still are encoded in latin-1, and that
a merge from maint to master may bring in characters encoded in latin-1
into a notes.xml file declared to be in utf-8.
To fix the problem once and for all (for the files involved), we'll
need to re-encode the files files utf-8 in maint, and then merge to
master.

OTP-11282

For applications where measurements show enhanced performance from the use
of a non-default number of emulator scheduler threads, having to accurately
set the right number of scheduler threads across multiple hosts each with
different numbers of logical processors is difficult because the erl +S
option requires absolute numbers of scheduler threads and scheduler threads
online to be specified.
To address this issue, add a +SP option to erl, similar to the existing +S
option but allowing the number of scheduler threads and scheduler threads
online to be set as percentages of logical processors configured and
logical processors available, respectively. For example, "+SP 50:25" sets
the number of scheduler threads to 50% of the logical processors
configured, and the number of scheduler threads online to 25% of the
logical processors available. The +SP option also interacts with any
settings specified with the +S option, such that the combination of options
"+S 4:4 +SP 50:50" (in either order) results in 2 scheduler threads and 2
scheduler threads online.
Add documentation for the +SP option.
Add tests for the +SP option to scheduler_SUITE.
Add tests and documentation for two existing features of the +S option: +S
0:0 resets the scheduler thread count and scheduler threads online count to
their defaults, and specifying negative numbers for +S results in those
values being subtracted from the default values for the host.

means that there is no esdp available and thus erts_schedule_thr_prgr_later_op
segfaults.

The actual port id is used to create a key from the
pointer value which is the ErlDrvPort. To do this
a new driver api function driver_async_port_key is
added and the driver API minor version is updated.
The documentation is updated and the faulty description of
how to spread ports over async threads is updated to
use the new API.
Testcase also added.
